Human Resource professionals understand more than most why learning and development opportunities are vital. One study found that a whopping two-thirds of employees actually changed jobs due to a lack of L&D. Perhaps this is because many companies don’t know how to create a learning and development program internally, or lack the resources to provide what they see as a perk, via external learning experiences like conferences and seminars.

This stage is a vital part of helping organizations foster agile workforces that are able to grow and adapt as business needs evolve.

Employee engagement is a very abstract concept. It is defined as the “emotional connect” that an employee feels towards its organization. It naturally varies from person to person. However, reports and statistics reveal some common drivers of employee engagement. And Employers must keep themselves updated on these employee engagement trends and statistics.

Malcolm Gladwell, author of “Outliers: The Story of Success,” said that, “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.” The opportunity to practice new complex skills in today’s workplace is essential to employee growth. But many learning and development programs stop short of offering practice opportunities in sufficient quantity and quality to create lasting change.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
